Court proceedings and protocols / Tingbøker
As part of the Documentation Project, the Court Protocol Project conducted by the Department of History at the University of Oslo has converted a number of volumes of court records from the 1600s and 1700s to digital format. The records have been made available through the Project for Net Based Postgraduate Degrees, History. The protocols are records of court proceedings at the lowest courts, where a public registrar or a notary public presided as judge. Judicial practice, moral attitudes, gender roles, power structures and the local way of life are among the topics which these records allow us to study. For more information, History
Tingbøkene refererer de rettslige forhandlingene som fant sted ved domstolen, og gir oss tildels frodige beskrivelser av folks levevis. Her finnes gjeldtvister og nabokrangler, brutte ekteskapsløfter og alvorlige kriminelle tildragelser. Protokollene er nedtegnet under rettsmøtene, og bærer ofte preg av å være skrevet i høyt tempo. Håndskriften er gotisk og skiller seg fra både moderne håndskrift og gotiske trykte bokstaver. Dessuten er språkføringa er uvant; preget av dansk og til dels tysk kansellispråk. Tekstene inneholder mange merkelige tegn og forkortelser. Kildeserien er derfor vanskelig tilgjengelig, og dette er nok grunnen til at de i så liten grad har vært utnyttet.

Dokumentasjonsprosjektet (Norwegian)Dokumentasjonsprosjektet (English)
Dokumentasjonsprosjektet var et samarbeid mellom de humanistiske miljøene ved Universitetet i Bergen, Universitetet i Oslo, Universitetet i Trondheim og Universitetet i Tromsø. Formålet med prosjektet har vært å ta i bruk moderne datateknikk i en rekke av universitetenes samlinger over språk og kultur i Norge. Informasjonen som ligger spredt i ulike arkiver og samlinger – i manuskripter, kataloger, hefter, bøker eller på arkivkort – skulle gjøres elektronisk tilgjengelig. Prosjektet ble avsluttet 31.12.97.
Drift og viderutvikling av databasene skjer ved en videreføring av en liten del av prosjektorganisasjonen. Det vil i tiden fremover stadig bli lagt ut mer data på nettet. Noe av arkivmaterialet vil imidlertid kreve tillatelse for bruk fra fagenheten; kontaktpersoner oppgis under det enkelte fagområde / database.

Name Distributions in the Social Security Area
The source of the data have been samplings from Social Security Number card applications. The size of the sample has ranged from 1% to 100% depending on the data available at the time the list was compiled. The selection criteria is based on the last four digits of the Social Security Number, which are random and not correlated with a particular geographical region. In cases where multiple cards were issued to the same person, a reason for this might be a lost card or a name change, the name on the last application was used. Unless otherwise stated birth on U.S. soil is not required for inclusion in the sample. An exception to this rule are the top 1000 lists for each decade
